Personal Inventory

2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves,whether ye be in the faith:prove your own selves.Know ye not your own selves,how that Jesus Christ is in you,except ye be reprobates".

Here we are asked to examine our own self.we sometimes spend so much time looking at and judging others and their actions as christians that we often overlook the beam in our own eye.Salvation is a personal thing,I'm not saved based on what you do, and you can't go to hell based on what I do.Each if us must see Jesus for ourself.

The letter "I" is the most important letter in the alphabet,it is the person you see in the mirror,and is the person responsible for every action you do.Something else you should know about the letter "I", it is also the center of "sIn, prIde, and SavIour". All that you do or don't do in rebillion against God is based on the letter "I", as in you.Jesus said  those who will follow Him, let him deny himself daily take up his cross and follow. The only way we can follow Christ we must deny our own self.We must put "I" to death, and in Christ become a new creature,in Him place our faith and hope,for in Him is our strength, comfort and  courage.He is our eternal security.

No matter what you think ,you can't fool God. It is not how high you jump on Sunday morning that leads others to Christ, but how straight you walk Monday-Saturday that will cause others to follow you to Jesus.
